In 2021, Olaf Gipser Architects completed the innovative collective self-build “Stories” project in Amsterdam. Built largely from timber with a negative carbon balance, deploying open building principles in order to assure longevity, and combining human and non-human habitats, the 45-meter-high green tower addresses the challenge of communal, high-density, sustainable and healthy urban living.
